Comments Thread For: Hearn on Crowd: Broner-Vargas Much Bigger Than Jacobs-Sulecki

[yammy25]

I don't know why any Americans are proud that big boxing events are off-limits for average people, and that some rich people in Vegas pay 10's of thousands for tickets? Boxing should be about the fans and the support for fighters, not how many celebs and 1% you can get to turn up to a ****ty little arena with no atmosphere.

Also, lol at having to pay $80 dollars for a PPV. Maybe they shold half the price and get twice as many eyeballs on the event, to grow the sport and make it viable for the paying public.

I legit think they're annoyed that it costs them ****** prices to see SD and then 10 bucks of more ******ity for HD when we get HD for less than 30 USD lol. I can't see how on earth anyone can , as a general customer , think that US PPV prices are acceptable lol

I thought Jacobs was the King of Brooklyn. Got outhustled by Broner and Vargas.

Broner won the King of Manhattan after beating Paulie, so his fans just crossed the bridge to support him

You wouldn't get away with that in the U.K. The demand for AJ tickets is crazy, I guarantee they could double or triple prices and it would still sell. They capped the ringside at 2.5k for Klitschko and Hearn has admitted he COULD charge 4 or 5 times that much..... but it's hardly fair on the fans.

That's the point that the U.S fans miss, in the U.K it's about the fans, and giving good value for money.

I'd rather watch a stadium fight with a good atmosphere than some Vegas show where they spend half the time capturing Denzel Washington or Arnold Scwarzenegger in the crowd... and I can at least afford to go the event if I really wanted to.

Wow. It’s all starting to make sense now.

No wonder Hearn says what he wants out there with impunity. He’s got these guys eating **** out of his hands.

Look at the Hearn apologist trying to spin Hearn horrible fights.
Of course when you sell your tickets for 10$ a seat it’s easy to do that lmao. Attendance doesn’t matter it’s all about the live gate. Reason why AJ can sell 50k tickets and still not make more live gate than a Mayweather fight that sells 14-15k tickets. Attendance means absolutely nothing.

How are the tickets $10 you moron. Stop the lies. American fights they give away thousands of free tickets and still get **** attendance. On average the UK tickets are probably higher than US.

Haye-Bellew is priced higher than Wilder-Ortiz want to bet which has the higher attendance? Joshua's last fight was priced the same as Wilder-Ortiz, Joshua sold 70k+ Wilder sold around 9/10k and gave the rest away.

The Mayweather era is over. Overall the UK has much better attendance. Why are you even arguing? Does it hurt your feelings?

Do you dispute that demand is extremely high and ticket prices could be doubled? You don't think that they could do that for another super fight like Klitschko at Wembley?

Wilder or Fury ringside could go for for 10k easily, charge double for all the other price brackets....

I guarantee they could AT LEAST double the prices and it would still sell out 90k..... London is extremely wealthy.

£20, so about $27.50.
Good value I’d say.

It's a steal !

Will never happen. We been saying this for years.

Would only take one forward-thinking, progressive promoter and broadcaster to try it out and be successful to prove the model worked.

The popularity of the sport would increase, and drive more future buys. I'd imagine there are a lot of people out there that would be tempted to buy it at $40, as most of the buys are right before the event.

I have bought so many PPV's right before the event, with the minset "ah it's only 16.95 or 19.99.... I don't think I would have if it was $80 or £58.20.
